About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my whole life, so caring for pups has always felt very natural to me. I’m a recent college grad, currently working remotely and getting ready to apply to grad school — which means I’m home a lot and genuinely love having dogs around during the day. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels, including seniors and more sensitive or shy dogs. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with walks, feeding, basic medications, and overnight care, and I always try to stick closely to each dog’s normal routine. I’m very attentive, easy to reach, and happy to send updates and photos while you’re away. Mostly, I just really enjoy having pups around and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved.
“Danielle is such a wonderful sitter for our kitties! Our cats tend to be on the shy side and they both approach her, therefore we know our cats are in great hands! Thank you Danielle.”
“Guilherme was great with our two cats, one of which needed daily liquid medication. We got prompt and frequent updates and pictures throughout the visits. Would easily recommend!”
“Alexis was a great sitter for kitty, as usual. Extremely responsive, sends detailed updates (with lots of pictures), and clearly made our cat feel comfortable. We'll continue to rely on here whenever she's available!”
“Cordigen was very caring. She noted everything I said and went above and beyond to take care of Nayo. Nayo was so happy every day when she came! We had a great peace of mind the few days we were away.”
“Jenna is an absolutely fantastic pet sitter. She took care of our cats for two weeks while we were traveling and spent lots of time playing with them gave us daily updates with cute photos and was generally super communicative. She went above and beyond. I highly recommend her.”
“Had to ask Rachel last minute to look after my cat after a 7 hour flight delay. She responded quickly and was able to drop by immediately to take care of my cat! Great response time and glad I could rely on her in a pinch.”
“Rachel is amazing! She took amazing care of my kitty and buns, and provided some of the best pics of them that put my mind at ease while I was away!! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter in the future”
“I always know my cat is in great hands when Nina & Leo take care of her! They send updates, photos, maintain good communication and even brought her a Christmas treat for their last visit! Will continue reaching out to them for all future bookings.”
“Julie was great. Very conscientious and proactive. Our cats hide from strangers but Julie sought them out and tried to get them to be less fearful. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Maria took great care of our two cats while away! She sent regular photo updates, and we returned to happy pets. Her genuine affection for animals made our time away worry-free. Highly recommended!”

Stanford cat parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using Rover for our cat while we were away on a weekend trip. We are beyond pleased with Anna’s care during her drop in visits. She was kind enough to spend time with our cat before the trip so he was used to her and she became familiar with his routine. While we were away she provided thorough updates and plenty of images to ease our minds. We were happy to see so many pictures of our cat playing with Anna and getting all the pets. We will plan to book with Anna again for any future trips.
Natalie was absolutely wonderful!! My girls (Romy and Michele, two very felonious felines) immediately warmed up to her and she loved them as if they were her own. Natalie was exceptionally communicative, took many pictures, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed being with my girls. I will DEFINITELY be using Natalie again, and I cannot recommend her in the strongest enough terms to any cat parent!
Menqi and I had a video chat prior to the sit. Her questions and concerns were thoughtful and thorough. It was also a pleasure to meet her kitties via the chat. Menqi qas on time for the sit and shared images of Dorrie. My other kitty, Cinder, is quite shy therfore I was not surprised that she didnt see him. I arrived home to happy ,and fed kitties ,and a clean litter box. Thank you. I would definitely request Menqi to drop in, again, while I am away.
